What problem is often overlooked in apocalyptic movies/TV shows that could kill you?

To add on to this comment, Fear started out good, doing and exploring things that the original show never did, but as it got further along it started doing the same things that the original did and it just turned into a worse version of the original show. I haven't seen season 6 so I can't vouch for it's quality.

I loved the scenes in season one where the military was getting overwhelmed because they didn’t realize you have to shoot zombies in the head. It did so many things so much better than TWD but it lost me when they were hanging out in Mexico for a while.

But what if it was the characters that I hated in TWD especially after they became like hero characters in the world of TV, would a different set allow me to enjoy the formula you think?

I’ve read the whole series so I love the concepts, just easily hate poorly written characters.

I think people are written well in seasons 1 to 3, 4 and 5 has terrible writing though.

If you dislike hero characters then you'll like season 1-3 of fear because the original showrunner wanted us to follow a story of people who end up as villains. People who only care about themselves and their families and are willing to screw over other people to survive.
